New anti-glare screens from Grantwood are much better than the previous model
As some other commentators pointed out, this screen protector is easy to apply - especially after watching a video on the manufacturer's site. However, two things made it really unsuitable for me: screen glare (the most important disadvantage) and the fact that the screen does not match the Kindle 3 screen - there are gaps wider then 1mm which for a "premium" product is not too good. Even worse: out of the two screens I received in the 2-pack, one was not rectangular (very tight fit on the bottom of the screen and 1.5smm gaps on the top.
So... if the significantly increased glare and precise fit are not too important for you, you'll appreciate the ease of installing the screen. Otherwise you should look elsewhere.
Follow-up comment:
I have been contacted by the Grantwood Technology and received their new anti-glare screen for Kindle for free - this is a good indication an excellent customer service and the sign that they genuinely care about their products' quality. The new screen is a vast improvement over the previous model. It seems to be just a little bit more difficult to apply (as it is a bit more rigid then the old one) but not by much. The fit is much better and the glare is vastly reduced - making the new screen a really good protector for my Kindle. I did not like the old product but the new protectors are so much better that I can recommend them without hesitation.
